"It's a huge win for our team," head coach Jake Harrington said. "It was one of our goals to get out there and win a tournament this semester. Yesterday was a tough day in the morning, the wind was blowing, but the guys battled back. We had a good team meeting last night. We were seven shots off the lead, and we said that it's just two shots per guy. We knew it was doable, and if we go out there and do what we are capable of, we can win. We fought coming down the stretch and it was a huge team victory."
